That's not meant to criticize this particular patch, but what's the point in distinguishing sc from ah these days? I believe "ah" used to refer to the closed part of the sc structure that was only touched by Atheros HAL, hence the name. Since there is no HAL anymore, ah should disappear. As the first step, ah should be allocated as part of sc. Then ah and sc should stop pointing to each other. Instead, macros based on offsetof should be used. Then ah should be dissolved and replaced with sc throughout the code. That's probably a good task for an aspiring kernel hacker, as it requires little specialized knowledge. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
